Hi yall, I'm presently running with cpu 4670, GTX1080 turbo(non-ti), 12GB mem. I notice alot of stutters, and double-image aircraft when they fly by which makes the game suck for me in VR. So I'm thinking of upgrading to new pc with 8700K cpu, but, before I do I like to know if anybody here thinks it will be worth the 1500$ I need to dish out for new cpu/pc? From task manager, the cpu usage was only 50% where graphics often soared to 90%!!...so now not sure if cpu/memory upgrade will do the trick. Opinions please?

Trust me , flying without stable reference for your hand(i.e. physical stick) will make for some very clumsy flying, especially helicopter flying. It would be downright stupid for a true sim like DCS to take that wii-type route.

Cargo cam definitely not working for me, whereas cargo indicator works fine.. Funny thing, when I press escape to pause the game I can then see the cargo cam semi-transparent. As soon as I resume game it's gone. Is there something special I need to do? Using v2.2 openalpha

Ok well I tried that and cargo cam definitely not working for me. Funny thing, when I press escape to pause the game I can then see the cargo cam semi-transparent. As soon as I resume game it's gone.

yes using 2.2 open alpha ok thanks I'll try that.

huey external cargo cam not working? I cannot get the external cargo cam working with the huey, but cargo indicator works fine in v2.2open alpha. Does the cargo cam work for anybody here?

in soon upcoming 2.5 you will have campaign access

ahh yes im using unlimited ammo. Thanks. Funny though firing gun in huey does produce rumble with unlimited ammo.

Anyone know if it's normal not to feel any rumble on jetseat when firing guns on spitfire (using simshaker aviator)?

I am running simshaker for aviators on DCS, but do not feel any rumble on my jetseat when firing guns on my spitfire?!

I read over the mission editor manual and tried to add weapons by adding helicopter group. I found the weapon loadout options but none show door gunners, only ext guns and missiles. Still I would be happy for now with that at least I get to do more than just fly around. However, after I press fly mission in the editor , it brings me to the game and can see the loaded external guns, but I have no control of the heli. I beleive it's jsut allied bot heli. How do I set the loadout in MY heli?

I see. By the way I meant only "fast missions" are available as there are no "instant action" available missions (I edited original post). I do not have enough hd space nor time/bandwidth to download another 30GB for version 1.5. I wish it were more clear on the dcs website when I bought the huey module that it does'nt really support 2.2. Anyhow, I guess I'm stuck for what I have for now. So are you saying I can at least add guns/weapons thru mission editor then?

I recently bought huey heli with normandy dcs 2.2 but I cannot find a way to have door gunners/guns visible. How do I get them to appear? also, only "fast mission" is available for the huey in 2.2.

is the huey heli capable of co-op multiplayer where a buddy of mine can be copilot in my huey?

DCS 1.5 or 2.1/Normandy? -- which is performing better in VR please?

I know how you feel! I too would sooo wish DCS ran smoothly in VR. In the meantime I now play warthunder, which is SUPER unbelievably smooth in VR even in full sim mode. I suggest you do the same to get your flying combat fix ....for now until ED get moving on giving VR more love

Are you using DCS 1.5 or 2.1? I hear 2.1 has very bad performance in VR though I did not try myself. I have tried 1.5 about 6months ago and I too found performance very bad in VR so I uninstalled. And I'm using a GTX1080turbo. Instead I play warthunder in sim mode (better than nothing) and must say performance is absolutely perfect . I know warthunder is not the best sim but man have they ever optimized so well (I NEVER EVER get fps drops no matter how many planes,map etc...)

dcs 1.5 vr performance Disssapointed to hear that! I had v1.5 installed about 6 months ago to see how well it performed in VR and found that to be a stutter-fest as well. Especially annoying was the aircraft flying by as double-images. Running GTX1080turbo and 4670K. So I uninstalled. Stuck playing warthunder for now until DCS gets better optimized. So my question, has DCS 1.5 been better optimized in VR performance lately since last few months or not?

Are framerates on 2.02 better than 1.5 with DK2??? cuz on 1.5 it's stutter city for me outside cockpit (headtracking good though)

I love the fact that starVR is actually addressing the present day FOV and will be improving on it. Oculus simply ignore any details relating to FOV, mainly saying it is subjective, depends how far the person eyes are from the screen bla bla bla.....end result is it looks like horse vision period! Of course I still love my DK2 but only becuase it's that or back to flat monitors- which is a def no-go! FOV is way more important than resoltion when it comes to VR immersion!

Apparently you need to go to set the audio defualt to hmd. Not sure where you do this though sorry...maybe oculus store settings,windows control panel,....?

I have the exact same issue as the op! Using Strix GTX970., Graphics settings makes absolute no difference in stutter nor visiblity improvements tbh. Graphics card usage <70%

My theater map does not work properly in VR! Icon/poi placement come up but no actual map!? Am I doing somehing wrong?
